Cervical cancer is preventable. But rates have plateaued in recent years, according to new data | CBC News

Between 1984 and 2005, rates of cervical cancer had been dropping steadily. But a report published Monday by the Canadian Cancer Statistics Advisory Committee shows a plateau in the annual percentage change for cervical cancer rates, which is just under zero for the period from 2005 to 2021. "Cervical cancer is not one of the most common causes of cancer death for females in Canada, but each one of the 430 deaths expected in 2025 due to this cancer was potentially preventable," the report said.
